Ryker - flat tire on the front ..

[chris56]

after 5.000 miles I lost the air on one of my front Kendas - my neighbor could help me, I still have no repair kit with me, what would you use for that problem ??

Looks like you have a plug kit, that’s what I would use.

I think you should buy your neighBro a beer

Plug would be a TEMPORARY repair in my opinion. I’d take off the wheel/tire and take it to a tire shop for a proper inside patch and rebalance IMHO.

This ^^^^^^^ But good luck finding someone that can balance that wheel

Why, any spin balancer should be able to do it.

I have not Found a tire shop that has an alignment cone small enough for the Ryker wheel.

Hummm..... good point.

IMO, a properly installed plug should work OK. If you believe it’s not satisfactory this would be a good time to replace both front tires for a better quality set. cueman

I forgot to mention that I’ve had good luck with Dyna Beeds for balancing tires. cueman

From all that I’ve been able to find no one makes another tire the size needed for front. Enlighten us if you have.

in my last 45.000 miles on Spyders/Ryker I never bought a Kenda .. still no one found a solution for my front ????

 

[jcthorne]

We do.

Any motorcycle shop should be able to if they have a balancer.

Your friends repair is good but the inside patch would be better. To avoid all that the mushroom plug kit is the best in my opinion and has worked for me without having to go the inside plug or rebalancing route ...:thumbup:

Would Ride-On work to solve both problems? Seal the puncture or plug in this case and balance the wheel/ tire. Also act as a flat prevention.
